" Similarly, gay people are a minority. That is the reason why you don’t see many gay couples in advertisements."
Ok my counter response, so called interracial heterosexual couples are a minority. However, the probability of seeing images of such are higher than that of homosexuality/same sex depictions.
Hence the heterosexual image is still being pushed as it is what sustains society.
Legalizing homosexual marriage was another facet to protect the group that supports government with tax dollars. Prudent political figures look for votes.
"If I am creating media, I will want to connect with as many people as possible. Since most people are heterosexual, my best bet is to make my characters heterosexual as well."
So that is a yes. The heterosexual image is promoted most , perpetuated as the reality reveals it is the basis in which society sustains itself.
If you're truly want to connect with as many people as possible, you should include other images of sexuality.
You just contradicted your own so called counterpoint. A Freudian slip that the heterosexual image is ingrained and will dominate and this failed counter attempt wouldn't even live up to going against the ingrained image. It dominated your counter.
"Still, as the world becomes more and more woke, there is an increasing demand for homosexual characters in media. This is happening even in places like Russia. This change is good because it is inspirational to find somebody like yourself in a book that you read, or in a movie that you watch."
Thank you. You just solidified my point further. The opposing side just contributed to that fact that if mass support existed, the representation would be present . It has nothing to do with minor prevalence.
"there is an increasing demand for homosexual characters in media"
If there was promotion for this as heterosexual images are, there would be no demand being adequately supplied already.
Much like the eagle, the LGBTQ flag is a symbol of freedom.
P1: Most Americans love freedom.
P2: Gay sex exercises freedom.
C: Most Americans love gay sex.
Now, Americans don't love gay sex in the sense that they wish to partake in it. But you get the point."
Excellent notes in any smart politician's notebook.
Nevertheless, it is not what is promoted for instance in advertisements. The sexuality of man and woman is pushed ...well ....because of what is in the advertisements, families, children. Of diverse colors by the way in one photo here and there.
Ok sorry
Noted and appreciated. I’m taking appropriate measures.

Reason for Removal: The voter does not justify any of their point allocation. It is not sufficient for the voter to give their opinion on the topic.
**************************************************
Please remove jonrohith's vote. His reasoning has nothing to do with the actual content contained within the debate and he just makes a blunt, opinion-based statement.
If you go to his profile you will find he has repeatedly made similarly poor votes. I would advocate that you at least temporarily ban him from voting until he learns that the voting system here expects a basis of logic, thoroughly reading the material, and putting aside personal biases.
The title confuses me, as there seems to be two topics at once here . . .
Is the topic "Gay sex should not be accepted by society" or is the topic "Gay sex should not be promoted by (particularly U.S.) society" ?
